This test does not detect wolf or coyote. The "DNA My Dog Premium Breed ID Test" does test for Wolf and Coyote.

How long does it take for results?

You will receive an email from the manufacturer when the sample arrives at their facility. From that date, it will take approximately 2-3 weeks to get the Breed Test or Allergy Test results.

Gave me 100% DNA on a puppy. First time I’ve used this brand, usually I use VGL labs or embark, but thought because Chewy carried it, it would be good. As a dog rescuer I was trying to save a little, lol, ended up buying a kit from embark anyhow. Very disappointed. Mom trapped in November, had 2 babies 10 days later, was trying to identify to be able to find homes.

This was super easy to get the sample from my puppy, just mail it back and once they received it in their lab, I had the results in a less than 2 weeks. Was surprised by what I saw. My pup is almost 1/2 chihuahua, a little leads than a 1/4 miniature poodle and the rest daschund and maltese.

I bought this for my newest dog Sonar. We have not received the results back yet. We were not even notified when they got the test from me. If I don't get results in the next couple of weeks. I will change brands and not refer this to anyone.

I got this on sale for around 60 bucks or less. Mainly, I was just trying to determine a second breed line with my mixed black lab who is 100% black. The vet even commented that without a DNA test we couldn't tell for sure if he wasn't 100% lab or not. It really doesn't matter and I purchased this merely out of curiosity. Turns out my BFF is 20% each of five braids. Shocking as his behavior and looks lean towards lab except for a percentage of Staffordshire terrier. I never in a million years would have believed he had 20% basset hound in him because he's absolutely brilliant and by far one of the smartest little guys I've ever encountered. If you just want to satisfy your curiosity, by all means choose this DNA test as it will save you a few dollars you can spend on more treats.

We were very skeptical about how accurate these doggy DNA tests were having read so many reviews. We decided on this one. Once we got the test, we registered the kit as the directions stated for sample tracking purposes. Also directed by instructions were a few details about your dog. The questions did not seem leading, such as to possibly giving away too much information that may lead to “guessing” the breed of dog rather than truly sampling the DNA and finding out. Again, we were skeptical but were ok enough to take the chance on the kit, given the price. When answering the dog profile questions, we purposely did not upload a picture of our dog as again, being skeptical we were curious as to if the test was legitimate or just guessing. The test was easy to do and we sent the sample the very next day after receiving it. The only negative thing I would say at this point was that after about 3 weeks, I had not received confirmation that the sample we sent was received. The instructions and profile created, indicated that I would receive notification when our sample arrived. Since after about 3 weeks and not getting notice of being received, I emailed the company using the web page where we registered the product and let them know to date I have not received any notice. I was again skeptical at this time. To my surprise, the next morning I received a reply to my inquiry and they had stated that to date they had not received the sample as yet and to follow up in 3 days if I did not get confirmation by then. The reply from them at that time was that if they did not receive our sample by then that they would send us a new kit to start over again. At the end of 3 days I had not received any notice and decided that the next day I would follow up again. The very next morning I received confirmation that they received our sample. Awesome! We were excited they received the sample but then thought we would have to wait another 3 weeks or so to get the results and again wondered how legitimate they would be. Almost 1 week later we got notified that the results were available through the web page where we registered the kit. We were stunned at the results! The results showed our rescued puppy was genetically made up of 6 different dog types and they were listed by percentage of each breed discovered from the test. Of the 6 different dog types, 4 of the 6 were what we and all of our friends guessed she might be by looking at her! Since we did not submit a photo of our puppy and given these results, I am no longer skeptical and believe 100% that this product does what it says and with complete accuracy. I am also highly impressed by prompt customer support as well! We shared this info with several friends and many wanted to know what the kit was that we bought and where we bought it from because they are now curious about their own 4 footed best friends! Highly recommend this product!

I have used other DNA kits that I think I prefer. This one just gives you percentages of breeds present in your dog. Others do that but also give you a visual for a “family tree”. Don’t think I will use this one again. I didn’t include a picture or my guesses. I think that’s cheating. Luann came back as a pretty even mixture of 5 small breeds. A precious scruffy mutt!!

I liked the time frame that was explained in regards to when the lab gets the sample and when to expect results. It was very on point and no delays on getting my dog’s results. I also enjoyed the way the results were broken down and the breeds were explained. The website is super user friendly. Not difficult to navigate. I’m actually tempted to do this with my other dog as well.

My dogs had minimal and inaccurate results. My chiweenie had neither chihuahua nor dachshund. My Anatolian was given more Pyrenees than anything even though he hasn’t the body structure. A different DNA panel did give me the known results. My Anatolian was mostly that. My Chiweenie did have over 60% chihuahua and dachshund. DNA my dog was a disappointment.

Test results took awhile to receive...but I was patient! I think the results were pretty spot on. I was surprised that there was no percentage of Basset Hound in my lab mix since he has the little crooked front paws. I will take with a grain of salt! Overall, a fun experience!
